down to election day. in these battleground states across the country, so i think that you know, what you're saying is that bounce that president obama had coming out of the democratic convention has gone away. it's dissipated and more americans are looking at the romney ryan ticket as one that will address issues and will deliver a plan that has impact on middle class americans, that will bring down taxes for all americans. period. there's only one candidate that's actually talking about raising taxes and there's another candidate, the romney ryan ticket, that will cut taxes for all americans. so i think as we go into this, we'll hear a lot more of that. obviously at the debate and this is the next phase f that campaign. >> mitt romney leads according to our poll, on unemployment and the deficit. let me ask you this, ben, because one thing our viewers may assume is that democratic base is now energized and the convention is now partly responsible for that. rece recently, jim -- our new poll, how do you fe

obviously the obama administration takes issue with it and says it isn't true. do you think this could be enough, if mitt romney could make the case for him to win the election? >> i think it's a very important point. remember why he wants to have the tax reform he wants. it's to make sure that the united states grows better than we've seen in the past four years. and what mr. romney is trying to say is, look, we have all these people out of work. we have all these people with jobs whose incomes are not growing. let's lower rates, broaden the base, be respectful of the middle class and the deficit by but have a better tax policy in place. it's good positions for him. the president can't even get the first step right. instead of lowering rates and broadening the base, he is insisting on raising taxes. that's a bit of a tough sell right now. it was the same president who, in 2010, said we can't afford to raise taxes on anyone. the economy is too weak. we're growing faster then than we are now. >> how big an issue could it be for democrats if mitt romney successful

here is why republican strategist karl rove who knows polls and elections better than anyone says these polls can't possibly be right. >> think about this. romney and obama get each roughly the same percentage of the republicans and democrats as their opponent. that is to say they carry their base overwhelmingly. romney among independents is winning by three points, so if romney's winning the independents and republicans, do you think in a battleground state like florida, he's nine points down? the answer is no. >> okay. that math doesn't actually work out because according to the florida poll, those who say they're most likely going to vote, 36% say they're democrats, 27% republicans and 33% independents, so as you can see, the math that karl rove laid out doesn't necessarily have to be so. let's bring in our panel here and talk about all of the polling here we do at cnn and how it works. cnn polls, one thing you may have heard is that the polls out there are assuming a higher turnout this election than last. a lot of people say that can't be so. there was so much passion and enthusias

so one of the issues sharply dividing president obama and mitt romney this election is illegal immigration. the president recently launching a program granting work permits and temporary legal status to millions of young illegal immigrants. romney, though, meantime favoring strict enforcement of the law, and encouraging illegal immigrants to self-deport. casey wian went "outfront" to find two stories you need to hear. >> reporter: angelica hernandez was 9 when she first crossed the border with her mother and sister. >> i still remember crossing the desert. to sleep in the desert, it was getting too late and we had been walking for hours. and my mom would hold, you know, my sister in one arm and me on the other arm. and you know, just prayed that nothing would happen. >> reporter: but their human smuggler was pulled over for speeding and they were deported. their second crossing succeeded. entering school as a fourth grader, hernandez was teased because she spoke no english. arizona county sheriff paul abu has spent much of his law enforcement career battling human human smugglers. deputies

i think barack obama has been better at it as of the 2008 campaign. he was able to do it digitally, more so than with mail. finding youth, finding african-americans, finding women. identifying issues they care about and continuing to hit them with those messages over and over again throughout the campaign. now, we see mail as something that's been done traditionally. it's kind of old school, but still effective in small, rural communities around the country. it's also a way -- >> david, bring david frum in here to your point about using direct mail because isn't this -- that when you do it the way obama was doing it with a tweet or something, you know, digitally doing this makes more sense than doing a traditional mailer on such a niche topic? >> i think there's a certain amount of interest group prejudice on this. when mitt romney talks about dodd frank, this is micro targeting. dodd frank is obnoxious to probably people than lyme disease is. but they are very wealthy viewers, so their views count for a lot. i take ben's point about don't be distract
